Hey,

I just bought myself a chinese fork, but i do not like the thru axle system. The fork itself has no thread so the axle is locked with a screw that can not be fixed.
(look at pic below)

What are current options to replace my RS sid brain worldcup with 90mm of travel?
I pressume i need a fork of 480 mm height to not change the geo of my Speci Stumpjumper.
I've been thinking of 1st gen Niner RDO fork but at 470mm height i think it will change my geo, new gen rdo is to high at 490mm.

Thougts and info please?!
What would you do?

Suppose i do change into a Niner Fork, what is best when looking at geo:

470 or 490 mm?

483mm

Not sure what TA it uses. I have a "Road/Gravel" No 9 in my Chinese Ti bike, and it came with a DT Swiss axle.
